Episode Details

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa just had a major call with Donald Trump, focusing on reviving Syria’s economy and regional stability. Key to his plan? Removing U.S. sanctions — especially the tough Caesar Act — to attract investors. While the U.S. has lifted most sanctions and repealed the Caesar Act, it’s still holding onto restrictions targeting Assad’s inner circle, human rights abusers, and captagon traffickers. The U.S. is also reviewing Syria’s “state sponsor of terrorism” label, which limits foreign aid and arms sales. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are pledging billions to help rebuild Syria — signaling a global push to jumpstart recovery. But with sanctions still in place, Syria’s path to economic revival remains fraught with complexity.
